Credit to Snakas for the report

Snakas has posted some information on the June issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine that is now out in Japan which I have summarised below.

The Transformers Revenge of the Fallen figures are shown with the first figures due for release on the 30th May.

The distribution campaign Micron figures are shown )they are also shown in this months Figure King magazine).  To qualify for the figures you need to spend 3,000 yen or more, though Snakas points out that the information is rather sketchy.

The Design Wave concept images are shown with no character names being given.

Alternity Megatron is listed by this magazine as having a release date at the end of June, though Figure King reports the release of the toy as closer to the middle of that month.  The Super-Convoy black version is mentioned but no images were shown.

Finally a new book is announced in the magazine, Transformers / Revenge Book.

New images of the recently revealed Transformers Device Label figures have been posted on the internet.  The images are of the actual figures and show that some of the characters have been replaced or that other recolours are being made.  You can view the images below.

A screening of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen will take place on  Wednesday 29th April 2009 at the King of Prussia, PA in the US.  The screening has been arrange by FilmMetro and is already sold out.  You can view more information here.

Seibertron is reporting on a "Device Label" Transformers line which is currently listed on BigBadToyStore.  The line consists of Transforming USB hubs which include Blaster, USB memory sticks (2 gig) Ravage and Tigatron, and Optical Mice, Overkill and Dinobot.

They certainly look interesting

Michael Bay has posted a comment on his message board regarding the ShoWest footage he recently posted online.

The Showest footage was pulled down because it was just a 12-hour thing.

I just wanted the fans to get a taste of what we have been making for a year and a half because we have been so quiet. The piece was cut about a month ago for this Showest thing I accepted this past month - so as you can see many of the shots were far from being finished renders. This dinky little site received over 1,500,000 hits and 550,000 downloads in this short time. Anyway the trailer is being printed today and coming out on Wolverine and Star Trek. 64 days left!
